A Boeing 787 Dreamliner headed from San Diego to Tokyo was diverted back to the San Diego International Airport Wednesday due to a problem with the airplane's anti/de-icing system.

According to San Diego Airport Authority officials, Japan Airlines Flight 65 took off from Lindbergh Field at 1:35 p.m. with no issues. A short time later, the flight turned around and returned to San Diego, landing at Terminal 2 by 3:10 p.m.

Representatives from Japan Airlines told NBC 7 San Diego that the pilot of the flight had received an “error” message regarding the operation of the anti/de-icing system. The pilot made the call to turn around and return to San Diego so repairs could be made to the system.

As of 5:15 p.m., airline officials said the repairs were expected to take a few hours.

In March, a Boeing 787 with a redesigned battery system made a test flight, and the company said the event went well and "according to plan."

In late August, a Boeing 787 Dreamliner on its way to San Diego from Tokyo had to turn around and return to Japan due to maintenance issues stemming from a problem with the slat system. That particular incident caused some delays at Lindbergh Field.
